One thing I’ve heard from pest management professionals is that you really should receive training in thermal imaging before trying to use the technology for pest management. There’s a lot of “more art than science” to it, so the training helps avoid false positives/negatives.

I’m most interested in our ceiling voids and being that our building is quite large - there would be lots of ground to cover and I’m not sure how well something like this would work. If anyone out there has tried using this on a larger scale – I would love to hear about it. Thanks!
